I promise, pictures are coming soon! Unfortunately, my cord for my camera is hidden away somewhere in a box, so probably until I move into my new apartment, I won't be able to upload anything. Just trust me, I'VE BEEN BUSY!
I've had the pleasure this summer of being a summer live in nanny for my good friend Jen and her 2 lovely children. Ivan is 10, and Miranda who is 5. We have done some amazing things, and I've had a blast hanging out with them all summer! We've gone to the "turtle pond" on campus, a local train station, baked things, gone to a miniature museum, and done so many other wonderful things that I've completely lost track! (That's what the pictures are for). Now, I'm sure you're thinking, 'Sam, these seem like things that mostly a 5 year old girl would like, what about the 10 year old boy?' Ah, not to worry dear friends. He has actually been traveling a lot this summer, so I haven't spent a whole lot of time with him. Quite honestly, most of these were for a 5 year old girl.... and let's face it, that's perfect since I am also a 5 year old girl!
In addition to all of the fun Nanny stuff I've gotten to do this summer, I've been working out. Like hard core. I've gotten a little discouraged along the way, since I've only lost mostly inches and I've been doing it ALL SUMMER, but I'm trying to hang in there and have faith that it will work the way it's supposed to soon enough. Easier said than done on some days. I've officially reached the point that I've decided I need to be healthier, and I've had a great support system along the way. Jen and Paige have been right along side me through the whole process, working out with me, eating right... the whole 9 yards. My family has been super supportive as well. When I go home, they work out with me, so I don't loose my momentum.
I've also had the pleasure of conversing with a close friend of mine while he was away in Spain. I was able to send a little piece of home to him every week (in letter form) and I got a nice taste of Spain and abroad as well (in postcard form). I am still SUPER jealous that he was able to go to Spain, since that is where I would go first, if I could afford to go abroad; but I'm happy that I was able to live some-what vicariously through him. :)
I promise, this post would be SO much better if I had pictures! We have done so many cool things this summer, I wish I could share them all with you. Fear not, they will be posted soon, maybe I will have a blog post that is purely pictures. After all, a picture is worth 1,000 words right?
Until next time,
xoxo,
Sam
